Indefinite Delivery Contract HQ085926DF924

The Missile Defense Agency awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract to Technalink Inc., a certified women-owned small business, with a ceiling value of $151 billion and a performance period extending through December 28, 2035. The contract employs full and open competition with no set-asides and is structured to support the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program, which aims to procure an advanced, multi-domain defense system capable of detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats to the United States homeland, deployed forces, allies, and friends. The contract encompasses research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization efforts across multiple classification levels and NAICS codes. The contract vehicle leverages advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital engineering, and open systems architectures to provide comprehensive, layered protection against ballistic, hypersonic, cruise missiles, and other advanced aerial attacks across all phases of flight.

An initial delivery order under the SHIELD contract was awarded to Technalink Inc. on December 29, 2025, with a firm fixed-price structure for performance in Huntsville, Alabama. While the initial order carries a nominal ceiling value of five hundred dollars, this represents the first task order under the broader IDIQ vehicle and establishes Technalink's participation in what the Missile Defense Agency characterizes as a significant long-term investment in homeland defense capabilities. As a small business contractor with demonstrated experience in information technology governance, cybersecurity services, and technical support to federal agencies, Technalink is positioned to compete for additional task orders under this enterprise-wide contracting mechanism, which is designed to enable the Missile Defense Agency and other Department of Defense entities to rapidly issue orders supporting national defense objectives through a flexible, multi-award structure.
